Among Rich Mines and Gold-Ribbed Hills of Arizona

"Such were the dangers of the early miners in Arizona. But there were other serious obstacles as well. They were scores of miles from the railroads or even the farthest outposts of civilization, and over the mountains which intervened they were obliged to pack all their food and other supplies. Nevertheless they took out millions of the precious metals, risking their very lives for the rich reward of gold."
(1904 Leslie's Weekly)
